[Plakatboy]

Hi ,

 

not buying any of these...too ex.

 

Out of curiosity , how to differentiate betw the Lexus RX300 and the Harrier ah?

[Hitman]

Steering wheel ... quite funny to see some Lexus RX300 with a Toyota steering wheel

[Ahliew]

harrier has an additional mirror...

look at the steering wheel:

rx 300 - lexus

harrier - toyota

toyota harrier has an extra side mirror sticking out of somewhere in front..beside the front bonnet..its v.prominent...wherea the lexus RX300 has none...also take note of the badging ont he steering wheel whereby it wld b toyota instead of lexus...but this can easily b changed...frm wat i have observed RX300 has a lower ride height as compared to harrier

 

have tried my uncle's harrier and it drive really well...v.smooth

oh i see....always thot it was the design of the rear tail lights until i got really confused ie the sharp looking ones vs the rounded ones. Both brands seem to have the 2 type of design as well....

Not really true that only Harrier has an additional mirror near the bonnet; some Lexus do come with that too. The best way to differentiate without uncover the bonnet is the glasses.....the word "Lexus" is present on all the windows and front and rear windscreen. Harrier will only have the word "Toyota".

i see

thanks for the explanation

I think Harrier is a 2.3L compared to a RX300 3.0L

[Mondeost220]

2.4L

what i really want to know is why people wants to badge their Harrier into a Lexus?

 

it is like modifying their Tag Heur watch into Rolex.

The most prominent difference between a Harrier and Lexus RX300 is the front bumper.

 

Go take a look.

But the fact is the Lexus is a Toyota

[Spacio1]

The Lexus RX300 is known as Harrier in Japan.

 

There is no Lexus in Japan if I am rite. Only Toyota.

 

They named certain make of Toyota as "Lexus" for overseas market.

 

Likewise, couldn't understand why some people bother to change Harrier to Lexus badge since it is so easy to tell?

"...But the fact is the Lexus is a Toyota..."

 

Ironic how the 'fake' is actually the original.

[Mojoe]

round lights are the previous version of Harrier/Lexus RX.. the sharper one is the newer version.

[Mojoe]

i think toyota planning to launch the lexus brand in japan soon..

[Acemundo]

businesses are just playing this branding business to maximise profit.
